Description of problem:
After selecting graphic or text install, the kernel is loaded and
decompressed.  As soon as the decompressed kernel is started, it
panics with the message "Attempted to kill init!".

I've tried to limit memory with mem=128M (my system has 512M), I've
tried noprobe, and the problem persists.

The system is a Gigabyte GA-7VRXP with DVD-ROM, CDRW-burner, 80GBhd,
512MB RAM, and an Athlon.

An older system I tried to install on (an old Pentium) also failed
this way.

Fedora Core 1 has successfully been installed on both platforms that
paniced while attempting to install Fedora Core 2.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Turn on machine
2.  Insert FC2 disc 1
3.  Select graphic or text install
    

Actual Results:  Kernel panic.

Expected Results:  Installation to proceed normally.

Comment 2 Patrick Pollet 2004-05-31 12:16:11 UTC
Hello,
   I got exactly the same error on an Asus M2400N laptop. 
   I succeeded booting and installing Fedora Core 2 by passing 
acpi=ht parameter to kernel.

   Unfortunately, since acpi is disabled, the sound card and pcmcia
does not work. 
Here is the relevant parts of /var/log/messages:

...

 I did try various combinations of kernel parameters with no success
(no sound) such as:
   nolapic 
   nolapic pci=noacpi
   nolapic pci=biosirq
   nolapic pci=usepirqmask  
  All of them gave me the kernel panic.
   
   I can use my Fedora only with acpi=ht ( or acpi=off) ...


  Please note that my colleague succeeded with a mandrake 10.0 (kernel
2.6.3) community by using nolapic pci=usepirqmask. He has sound !!!
And there are reports on Google of successful Debian install with
Kernel 2.6.5 on this laptop such as:
http://people.easter-eggs.org/~valos/Asus_M2400N/Asus_M2400N.html
http://www.bigendian.dk/ASUSM2400N.html

  Finally I should say that I succeeded to have sound with RedHat 9 on
this laptop by customizing/compiling a 2.4.22 kernel. But the harddisk
 was extremely slow (hdparm gaves 3Mb/s), that's why I tried Fedora
core 2... So far I am disappointed.

   There should be something missing or incorrect in the kernel's
config files for Fedora Core 2.. But what ?
  I am quite willing to help

Comment 4 Steven Burke 2004-06-01 04:30:39 UTC
I have the same issue as Msquared.
I also get this with the FC2 recovery CD.

I am running dual XP and FC1.

My system :
 Intel Celeron 2.6ghz
 Maxtor 91366U4 (12Gb) IDE
 ST360015A        (60Gb) IDE
 NVIDIA FX5200

Comment 5 Msquared 2004-06-01 04:47:29 UTC
Workaround: adding the parameter "acpi=off" to the kernel while
installing allowed me to successfully install Fedora Core 2.  I also
had to add "acpi=off" to the kernel when booting in order to
successfully boot Fedora Core 2.  Thanks to Patrick for the hints.



Comment 6 Steven Burke 2004-06-01 10:35:30 UTC
I tried :
acpi=off
acpi=ht
pci=noacpi

still the same Kernel panic.

However,
my actual info is different to yours:

Comment 7 Patrick Pollet 2004-06-01 14:15:36 UTC
Hello again,   
   I solved it from infos in bug # 121760.   
   I applied the patch by luming (comment #18) to linux/drivers/acpi/dsopcode.c ( 3   
lines to comment out), and recompiled the kernel & modules...   
    Now my laptop boots with 2.6.5-1.358custom    
without any acpi=xx parameter AND acpi is enabled OK.   
No more kernel panic (execpt of course from FC2 CD1 or image on usb disk).   
   
The directory /proc/acpi is populated and my sound card Intel 82801DB    
WORKS :-))   
  Just have to modify kernel-ntfs and ipw2100 rpms to install in   
/lib/modules/2.6.5-1.358custom  instead of /lib/modules/2.6.5-1.358   
   
  This may not help Steven since he do not have the same error code .  
  
Thanks and cheers ;-)

What I was expecting for a long time. Cheers to FC2 ;-)

Comment 9 Len Brown 2004-06-04 04:25:00 UTC
Thank-you Patrick for proving this is a duplicate of bug 121760. 
Steven has a different (non-ACPI) failure and should open a different bug. 
closing this bug as a duplicate of bug 121760...
